Troop K, 10th U.S. Cavalry, Chickamauga Battlefield, Georgia. The Buffalo Soldiers nickname was given to the "Negro Cavalry" by the Native American tribes they fought in the Indian Wars. The term eventually became synonymous with all of the African American regiments formed in 1866: 9th Cavalry Regiment, 10th Cavalry Regiment, 24th Infantry Regiment, and 25th Infantry Regiment. The "Buffalo Soldiers" were established by Congress as the first peacetime all-black regiments in the regular US Army. Cropped stereograph Keystone View Company, 1898.
